Our ideal candidate will raise the bar creatively, ensuring we meet or exceed PXP's highest quality standards. We hope to find someone boasting the "je ne sais quoi" of success in production: a force of calm, good judgment, adaptability, and thriving in change. This Senior Producer should be experienced in managing concurrent projects and can independently prioritize tasks to meet deadlines. We can only consider candidates who deeply understand commercial advertising production and editorial Post.

By acting as a single point of contact with cross-functional partners, this role will curate the flow of information, establishing a unified voice for our client, account, and production partners. In doing so, we can ensure that projects stay organized, on-track, and that correspondence funnels through the proper channels.

At PXP, this requires adaptability across various project-specific production roles through managing team bandwidth and vendor resources. The remit of this role will demand improvements in workflow efficiencies to ensure that each project utilizes the best talent available for each project. Our ideal candidate also has experience building and maintaining schedules integral at every step of the content production life cycle.

Service is at the forefront of our business, and PXP works daily to create and strengthen relationships with agency partners, clients, and creators. Prompt and thorough responsiveness, as well as a genuine interest in others, is what makes our service model strong and memorable.
